We had thousands of people braving scorching heat in May 2018 and flocking to the Carterton recreation ground to enjoy a fun filled family day out. We had lots of stalls and attractions including Pete the Baby T-Rex, a Jurassic Park Jeep, the Iron Throne, Punch & Judy, fairground rides, a craft marquee, refreshments and a fabulous dog show run by K9 Playtime Academy.

Thank-you to everyone who supported our event and made it such a success, you helped us raise nearly £7,000 for Save the Children Fund which goes to help disadvantaged children in this country and abroad.

We look forward to seeing you all in 2019 which will be our 40th annual event and will be bigger and better than ever!

The Iron Throne is coming to May Day!

Winter is coming... and so is the Iron Throne to Carterton's May Day Fair!!

The ruler of Westeros will soon be decided with the return of Game of Thrones to

our TV screens but who will it be? Jon Snow, Khaleesi, Cersei… you?

We are very excited to have the Iron Throne once again returning to Carterton, so come along and dispense justice from atop this Iron Throne replica, even take your photo in exchange for a donation to Save the Children Fund.

In 2018 we had over 40 outside stall holders and 25 craft marquee pitches, in 2019 we hope it will be even more! Applications are now open for 2019 stallholders, check out the stall holders page for more info.

At our event we always have a large car boot and last year we had over 50 cars selling their goods. If you're interested in having a car boot this year look at the car boot page for more info.

At our event we also have a dog show, fairground rides, a selection of vintage cars and a band stand with local bands playing throughout the day. If you are interested in any of these check out the other attractions page.

Last years dog show was run by 'K9 Playtime Academy' who had categories such as 'Waggiest Tail', 'Dog the Judge Would Like To Take Home' and 'Best Rescue Dog' along with agility categories. More info on this years dog show to come soon!

Check out all the exciting stallholders we have attending in 2019! Applications for stall holders are now open, if you would like to attend please contact us for a booking form.

Carterton's May Day Fair is run entirely by unpaid volunteers from the local community. We are always on the look out for more people to help out (even for an hour or two). Please check out our volunteer page for more info.
